News and More

Parish Nurse first call is now Dorothy Hanson (email: hanson.dorothy@gmail.com, home: 7582484, cell: 3033766.) We are most grateful to Dorothy for taking on the lead for our Parish Nurses as Elaine steps down from this roll she has filled so well. It will be a difficult shift for people to remember to call Dorothy rather than Elaine, we ask you to help with this. Of course you can always contact one of our other
